Excellent! Looks like everything is running smoothly as of now. Thank you VERY much for answering my questions/comments. I really do appreciate it.

1) What process does WHM Sonic run as and under what user (probably 'nobody')?

2) There are certain shoutcast options we like to configure in the "sc_serv.conf" file. I will usually pico sc_serv.conf -w into there and change the settings to exactly what I need.

I'll put in an intro file, update the max listeners setting, etc.

Are there any provisions to let either me (root whm) or the user (cpanel) configure the sc_serv.conf file through and interface?

3) I have not experienced any problems like this but I need to be cautious. Incase the program has an issue which compromised my machine, how should I go about removing it? (Just in case. I need to know as a responsible system admin.)


Thanks again! I really appreciate the hard work you've put into this application. It is definitely extremely useful.
I'll keep you posted. :D

Hello Mark,

1) What process does WHM Sonic run as and under what user (probably 'nobody')?
A: WHMSonic using customer account when setup anything to customer. Example: setup radio for customer username: mike, whmsonic will use mike and login with mike account to ssh for setup. Also this is good for file owner on the linux system.

2) There are certain shoutcast options we like to configure in the "sc_serv.conf" file. I will usually pico sc_serv.conf -w into there and change the settings to exactly what I need. I'll put in an intro file, update the max listeners setting, etc. Are there any provisions to let either me (root whm) or the user (cpanel) configure the sc_serv.conf file through and interface?
A: Yes we are going to release this option in the next versions, I have forum topic about this please check: http://www.whmsonic.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=12

3) I have not experienced any problems like this but I need to be cautious. Incase the program has an issue which compromised my machine, how should I go about removing it? (Just in case. I need to know as a responsible system admin.)
A: Dont worry about this, because whmsonic will not damage to your machine or system because we are not using any whm or system options. Also we are testing more then 10 times all the release's on our test servers before release it to public and yes we have uninstall script which is remove all whmsonic functions from your server.

Thank you
